A group of Evercore colleagues will be entering this year's Royal Parks Half Marathon ("RPHM") on 9th October, joining in one of London's largest half marathons and the only one to travel through central London. This effort provides an opportunity to raise money for vital causes such as the Disaster Emergency Committee's Ukraine appeal, as the nominated charity for Evercore's RPHM central fundraising page. Please see below for additional information on the DEC's efforts in Ukraine.

As a team we have set a fundraising target of £20,000 across the central page and Evercore participants' individual donation pages. Please give generously to the team's effort!

Intense conflict in Ukraine is threatening the lives and livelihoods of civilians across the country, causing millions to flee. Homes have been destroyed. Essential services have been hit. Families have been separated. People have been injured. Lives have been lost. 

DEC charities and their local partners are in Ukraine and across the border in the neighbouring countries. They are working to meet the immediate needs of all people fleeing with food, water, medical assistance, protection and trauma care.

£30 could provide essential hygiene supplies for three people for one month. £50 could provide blankets for 4 families to keep them warm. £100 could provide emergency food for two families for one month
